Dyson

Wiki

Dyson is a general-purpose operating system, a Debian derivative using the illumos kernel, libc, and SMF init system (formerly OpenSolaris). See FAQ.

It is not a successor of any existing or existed distributions based on illumos or OpenSolaris. Dyson is constructed from scratch to be like Debian as much as possible. Namely, most of Debian packages can be built on Dyson without any changes, and arch-independent packages (arch all in Debian terms) can be installed directly as is.

Project goals:

General-purpose operating system with OpenSolaris kernel (for desktops and servers)

If the APT repository cannot be verified due to missed public key (The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY),get current singing key located at https://apt.osdyson.org/dyson.asc and use "apt-key" to add the key manually.This key is usually automatically installed with the "dyson-archive-keyring" package.
